SYNOPSIS.Trypanosoma conorhini has been isolated from infected Triatoma rubrofasciata in Singapore. Parasites derived from the triatomid gut were inoculated into NNN medium and some cultures maintained at 25° to 27°C while others were kept at 37°. In cultures kept at lower temperatures crithidial forms predominated; however, at 37° blood‐stream trypanosome forms developed and survived for 10 days or more.
